Tasting - "Gabriella Chianti"

Name: Gabriella Chianti
Variety: 100% Sangiovese
Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Price: $7.95
Shop/wine critic/winery review: This beautiful wine has the very deep red, almost purple, color that you would expect in a Chianti. The first thing you notice is the fruit, balanced by a bit of spice. It’s a good dry wine with a bold flavor.
Even with it’s boldness, this Chianti is velvety smooth.
Your review: This wine was a dark red in color. It had a very unique, strong smell. This red was pretty dry and earthy. I was excited to try a wine from Italy!
Did not have food with the wine.
